So sorry to hear about her passing. I remember at Mike's wedding her audible giggle when I lifted my wife up on the dance floor.
My condolences to the family. - Dan

It has been a year or two since Kay was able to come our class gatherings at the Starlight.
She will be missed. She has always had that kind and warm demeanor that a good medical professional and mother might have. I have many fond memories, like Sally, of sharing classes and stories with her. My condolences for to the entire family.

Jon and family - I am so very sorry; there are no words that can take away the pain and loss. I care. Our Lord has welcomed another angel home. I hope these poems and this Bible verse might bring you some comfort.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith..........II Timothy 4:7
An Empty House
It’s not as if I’m going,
to an empty house, you see.
I know I’m going up there,
with my other family.
I want no tears or crying.
I want to see you smile.
Just stay with me and hold my hand
as I walk that last long mile.
My life’s been good and filled with love,
just see how I’ve been blessed.
I’ve seen a lot and done a lot,
I’ve had the very best.
Why, look around and you will see,
as all of you are here
that no one could have asked for more ~
you’re all so very dear.
No, it’s not an empty house,
this place I’m traveling to,
I’m just arriving sooner,
than any one of you.
-- Patti Koch ‘96
Good-bye
It’s difficult to say good-bye,
and hard to let you go.
We know that you’re at peace, my dear
but oh, we’ll miss you so.
You’re walking with the angels now
the pain has gone away.
And you’re no longer hurting
that’s a part of yesterday.
You’ve found your place in heaven
there’s nothing more to fear
your mortal ways are in the past
but we’ll miss you being near.

With my deepest sympathy to you and yours...

Kay sat behind me at Regis high school . We were seated alphabetically. Easily ,I could turn around to see her smile.I I was lucky I got to chat with her before or after all our classes.. I remember how very deeply she cared about everything..a test..a friend....whatever was going on Kay cared.. We just happen to be married two weeks apart in August of 1965 ! We were both blessed with wonderful husbands As young brides of 22 we both chatted about being able to take on the world. We felt confident ,and felt secure in our Religion. Then, as we had babies we always wrote notes to each other about the joy of motherhood. ! We each loved being a mother ! It was always so easy to talk about our deepest feelings and joys about our husbands and our children.. . ....so glad I met her when we were 16.......I I The years passed and the children grew....the babies grew up and we grew older . A quick moment at Xavier or a glance across the room as we shared our joys and we also shared our sorrows of losing a child suddenly !
A girl of 16 who sat in a classroom with you, I knew then how much you cared. You put your heart and soul into everything you ever did .
Our last conversations might have been about a garden open house, or a cruise we both took, or a telephone service we both used..but always that underlying theme of being there for each other. We both knew each other had experienced the greatest joys in life marrying the right man and experienced the greatest sorrow in life with the death of our child....and the pure joy of grandchildren. We knew that too........a life well lived KAY....thank you for being you....and bringing strength to everyone you ever met and your extreme kindness always.....
